My stay at Catalonia Royal Bavaro was a mix of highs and lows. While the staff was friendly and the beach had great potential, the presence of seaweed was hard to overlook. The dining options were less than impressive, and I experienced issues with room cleanliness. Overall, it was a nice experience, but there are areas needing improvement.

The first room I got was not renovated and felt outdated, with issues like a broken shower. After asking to switch, I was moved to a better room that was much more comfortable. Still, it was frustrating that I had to request the change myself.
